Brothel

'Do you think, I am the most beautiful girl, you have seen.' She enquired coquettishly.'No. I thank God. you are not.' I sighed.'Why ?'.'A wise man said the most beautiful lady of the town is not the wife of one'.I knew it pinched her. No girl wants to listen that. Such truths are often unheard. But Alas !! Brothels are the best place to find the beautiful ladies of a particular place. Such ladies are not only beautiful superficially, they are even more so from within. They live their life for society. Not for herself but for others. It is misconception that they are sex-maniacs and they always like to wallow in sexual pleasures. Desire has a tipping point. Till tipping point pleasure attained by fulfilling material desire vary in direct proportion but after that it becomes irrespective of fulfillment of desire. She works for money, just like any other industry, nothing wrong in it per se. She doesn't have any heir so she spends everything on herself.
She is there so are girls safe in society. Let close the bars and you find surge in sexual crimes. She is there to pamper the lower needs of society. These lower needs have nothing to do with class per se. A millionaire industrialist's son and a mediocre rickshaw wala both are equally likely to have same lower needs and they both resort to ways abominable in society. But society doesn't recognise her service. A truly enlightened person doesn't roam around saying he's enlightened and come listen to his gospels. No ! He's not enligthened at all. He's got the ego inside him burning to be famous to be sought after to be worshipped. He cannot be enlightened unless he forgets he's enlightened. A prostitute does the social service unbeknownst of the fact that she does that. She doesn't expect anything out of her service. She's great in that sense. Somehow mature intelligensia of society has known this fact subtly, thats why brothels are part of society right from ancient age. But ironically, society has always condemned them. Society has outcasted those who visit brothels. Society doesn't recognise the service of prostitute. All this trickery is there to prohibit average person to prohibit visiting them. Because society believes in restraint. Restraint is glue to bind constituents of society. But firebrands and freaks are not bound. They are free. They visit wherever they wish. They do whatever they want. They are neither bound to brothel nor to society. They are free in absolute sense.
Is it not as good as saying. There are two kinds of person in society. One who run behind materialistic life and other who run from materialistic life. One person says I want money other says I don't want any money. But money is there in mind of both. Neither has left money. They both are bound. They both cling to money one in positive sense other in negative sense. Simliar to it, one guy clings to society other clings to brothel. They both are maniacs. They are bound. Neither is free. Either of them dream of the other. They are in one camp and dream of other. A person in camp of society dreams of brothels and the one in brothel thinks of society. Both have craving. Both are unsatisfied with status quo. Freedom comes by freeing oneself from both the extremes. Rising above both. Not clinging to either.
Being attached is sin for a freak. He clings to neither good nor bad. He is free from the boundaries of both.
